Have you questioned the validity of your podcast rankings? Today, we address a Facebook Group question about the platform ‘Listen Notes’ and question the accuracy of our scores, and how much these scores may or may not matter. Later we spin the wheel of topics and discuss our attitudes regarding negative reviews and tackle a question many podcasters face: should you continue despite losing passion, even with a loyal following? Join us for strategies for handling the negativity, and knowing when it's time to pivot.
